Abstract
This study examines the relationship between unemployment and insecurity in the context of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) programs from 2011 to 2021. Unemployment and insecurity are two critical challenges faced by many nations, as they have significant social, economic, and political implications. The NDE, established to address unemployment issues in Nigeria, has implemented various employment generation initiatives over the past decade. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of these programs in mitigating unemployment and its subsequent impact on the level of insecurity in the country. The research methodology involves a comprehensive review of existing literature, statistical data, and policy documents related to the NDE's programs and their outcomes during the study period. The research is significant as it addresses a pressing issue that has implications for social cohesion, economic growth, and national security. The study's outcomes will contribute to the body of knowledge on unemployment and insecurity in Nigeria and will provide evidence-based recommendations for policymakers to design more targeted and effective strategies for combating unemployment and its associated challenges. The research also holds broader implications for other countries facing similar issues, offering valuable lessons and insights for addressing the complex interplay between unemployment and insecurity.
